Cheese Stuffed Meatball Sub Recipes

CHEESE-STUFFED MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the milk and bread crumbs.
• Whip eggs in separate bowl. Then add to larger bowl along with the meats, parsley, garlic and pepper.
• Mix ingredients briefly with hands.
• Form into 2 inch balls.
• Seal cheese cube into center of each meatball.
• In a large skillet set on medium-high, heat oil to almost-smoking, browing meatballs for about a minute or so.
• Transfer meatballs to tray (lined with paper towels).
• Discard oil and place tomato sauce in skillet, heating to medium-high until it starts to simmer.
• Add meatballs, cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
• Cover, simmer for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and cook for 10 minutes more.
• Serve over pasta with grated cheese, or place in Italian bread buns to make grinders.

CHEESE-STUFFED MEATBALL SUB

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350.
• Mix garlic, ground meat, and pizza seasonings.
• Form small meatballs, about 8-10.
• Poke a small hole into the middle of the meatball with your pinkie and stuff 1-2 cheese cubes inside. Make sure to close your meatball securely around cheese so that it doesn't ooze out.
• Put flour on one small dish. Mix egg and milk in a small bowl. Mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in another small dish.
• Roll each meatball in the flour until well coated. Dip into the egg/milk mixture until the whole meatball is wet. Roll in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet. When heated drop the meatballs in and cook until brown on the outside and done in the center. Make sure to turn the meatballs so they don't burn on one side.
• Heat up the spaghetti sauce in a separate pan.
• While meatballs are cooking, cut the top 1/4 of bread off. Hollow out the inside of the loaf ( I save these and put them in the oven and they make good dipping bread). Put loaf on a baking sheet.
• When meatballs are done, put them inside the hollowed out loaf of bread. Cover with the spaghetti sauce. Top with most of the mozzarella cheese. Put the top of the loaf next to sub on baking sheet, sprinkle this with the remaining mozzarella.
• Place sub in oven and cook for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Cut into 2 - 4 pieces and enjoy!
• This can be a little messy - but it's worth it!

MEATBALL-STUFFED GARLIC BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180˚C).
• In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper.
• Pinch off a ball of the mixture, roll between your hands to make ping-pong ball-sized meatballs.
• Cook the meatballs over medium heat, turning to brown each side. Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel.
• Slice the baguette into thirds or fourths (each baguette piece should be roughly the same length of two meatballs).
• Hollow out the insides of the baguette pieces with a knife.
• Lay two slices of mozzarella on top of each other with a 1-inch (2 cm) overlap. Place two meatballs on the overlapping region, then fold the mozzarella tightly around the meatballs.
• Push the rolled meatballs and cheese into a baguette piece.
• Slice the stuffed baguette pieces into 1-inch (2 cm) slices, then place them tightly side-by-side on a baking sheet lined with foil.
• In a small bowl, mix together ingredients for garlic butter.
• Brush the garlic butter evenly over the baguette slices, making sure some drips in between the slices.
• Wrap the foil over the re-assembled baguette and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and the top is starting to brown.
• Remove the foil and serve with marinara.
• Enjoy!

MEATBALL SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, gently mix by hand the ground beef, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Shape into 12 meatballs, and place in a baking dish.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, cut the baguette in half lengthwise, and remove some of the bread from the inside to make a well for the meatballs. Brush with olive oil, and season with garlic powder and salt. Slip the baguette into the oven during the last 5 minutes of the meatball's time, or until lightly toasted.
• While the bread toasts, warm the spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. When the meatballs are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the sauce. Spoon onto the baguette and top with slices of provolone cheese. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Cool slightly, cut into servings, and enjoy!
